Along with a friend of mine who happened to also be going there we always tried to get a certain hair cutter who was the best in the shop.
This hair cutter decided to open her own shop and poached some customers from GC including me and my friend. She grandfathered us in at $20 (senior rate) and have been at that rate for a few years. I always add another $10 and still feel like it's a bargain, especially after reading some of the comments here.
